Summary: Henrietta’s is a gorgeous cosy comfy cottage with everything you could possibly want/need for your stay. It was scrupulously clean and stocked with lots of lovely touches like breakfast foods, chocolates by the beds, lovely bathroom products, books and games, the list goes on. Very comfy beds with electric blankets if it’s a chilly night. Our host, Kerri, was a pleasure to deal with. We’ll definitely be back.

Summary: Very much enjoyed our stay. Had everything you could need and more including generous breakfast provisions. We were lucky with the weather so out furbabies could enjoy the wonderful garden with us as we sat outside and relaxed. The place has a secure fencing and the dogs were very safe there. The RedHill pub has new management so really enjoyed out dinner there and I would also recommend the Midland Bar restaurant if you want something more upmarket. A very nejoyable stay!
